Of course! Besides being delicious and nutritious to begin with, it's important to increase familiarity/popularity because amazingly, NIMBY happens to oyster farms, too. Ruins the viewscape, the waterfront landowners say. Even though these farms improve the quality of the water they sit in.

I've eaten many dozens of raw oysters at just about every coast I've ever visited (EU/MX/Gulf of MX, Pacific & Atlantic US), and have never gotten sick. I'm pretty careful with Gulf oysters though.
